Asda has taken over another petrol station in Slough as part of a nationwide expansion of its Express services.

The petrol station is located on the A4 Bath Road, the major east-west route that runs the length of the town.

It was turned into an Asda Express last month as part of a nationwide deal that transforms Spar petrol station services into Asda locations.

Celebrating the news, an Asda spokesperson said: “This conversion programme is an incredibly exciting moment for our business and accelerates our presence in the fast-growing convenience market.

“We look forward to bringing Asda’s great value in fuel and groceries to many more communities across the UK.”

The petrol station was opened as an Asda Express on Tuesday, March 19, at 395 Bath Road, Cippenham, near the four way junction of the A4, Elmshott Lane and Station Road. It has operated for years as a 24-hour petrol station.
